The lapack dll's are in 
/usr/lib/lapack to allow anyone willing to install atlas
libraries to have them in /usr/lib without collision.
This was a decision taken by my predecessor as lapack 
mantainer and I am sticking to it. 

There are two scripts 
/etc/profile.d/lapack.csh
/etc/profile.d/lapack.sh
that should add /usr/lib/lapack at the end of the PATH.
Of course they do not work if you redefine PATH by yourself.

$ cygcheck -l lapack
/etc/profile.d/lapack.csh
/etc/profile.d/lapack.sh
/usr/include/cblas.h
/usr/include/cblas_f77.h
/usr/lib/lapack/cygblas.dll
/usr/lib/lapack/cyglapack.dll
/usr/lib/libblas.a
/usr/lib/libblas.dll.a
/usr/lib/liblapack.a
/usr/lib/liblapack.dll.a
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/lapack-3.0.README
/usr/share/doc/lapack-3.0/LICENSE
/usr/share/doc/lapack-3.0/LICENSE.atlas
/usr/share/doc/lapack-3.0/README

the same is true for lapack 3.2.1 on cygwin-1.7
